When I first reached out to my therapist, I was terrified of the idea of talking to a stranger about topics I was somewhat ashamed of. I knew I needed to make some serious changes in my life, but I didn’t know where to begin or if I was capable. Today I am happy I found the courage to have that first conversation. Getting connected with the right counselor was life-changing for me, and I know it can be life-changing for you, too. Regardless of where you feel you are at this moment; I hope you find the courage to reach out to someone today. My approach is relatively simple and uncomplicated.
